We're about to bid on a project that requires the networking of 140+
Mac SE's, using something faster than Appletalk.  What are our options?
Our network guy says that that's too many nodes for Ethernet (for this
amount of traffic, anyhow.)  Are there Arcnet (or other more "egalitarian"
network) implementations available for the Mac?  What about TOPS?  Is it
Ethernet-only, or are there other network options available for it?

Any guidance would be most appreciated; thanks in advance.  Please send
E-mail, and I'll summarize for the net.
